Welcome to my grimoire.
This site is an online compilation of notes I took while working in one
of the nation's oldest occult shops from 1996-98, taken from a ten-pound
binder I accumulated during the course of my employment. The information
comes from a study of parallels between European witchcraft and New Orleans
practices, the common denominators of which have ended up as standard
stock in most of today's spiritual shops. It is intended as a DIY resource
for those of you who want to create your own rites and practices, rather
than following a ready-made spell.
As you can guess from the name, this is a rather unorthodox approach
to nature spirituality, working more from chaos, art, night magicks, city
atmopsheres, dance, and other modern twists rather than strictly adhering
to a "tradition." It is by no means a definitive guide, more
an ongoing record of some things I've learned that the texts didn't cover.
It is a perpetual work in progress, since there's always something new
to be discovered.
Sapere aude,
Lilah
